Last year, we got an in-depth look at The North Face VECTIV line with a visit to the All Triangles studio in Annecy. Working in partnership with The North Face, All Triangles help design, develop and test their most extreme footwear when it comes to performance. One of these lines we’ve come to know as VECTIV.

What was originally the first ever trail running shoe to house a carbon fibre plate, this duo revisit this recipe with their latest VECTIV creation that’s part of the forever boundary pushing Summer Series, the Summit VECTIV. With a more stripped back approach, this latest iteration features a their latest foam technology with a higher stack height. It’s within here that the carbon-fibre plate can be found. Also visual on the forefoot, the plate provides superb stability and energy outputs for those technical terrains which allows you to keep that pace going over whatever is thrown at it.

We took Footpatrol Run Club (Follow us on Strava here!) community member Paul out to Richmond to test this latest offering from TNF. Take a closer look at our outing below and make sure to check out the latest from The North Face online here.
